Much of our  ecological understanding about this process comes from studies of  birds, yet the existing literature is scattered, mostly decades old,  and rarely synthesized or standardized. \u003cbr\u003e  The twenty-seven contributions authored by leaders in the fields of  avian and urban ecology present a unique summary of current research  on birds in settled environments ranging from wildlands to exurban,  rural to urban. Ecologists, land managers, wildlife managers,  evolutionary ecologists, urban planners, landscape architects, and  conservation biologists will find our information useful because we  address the conservation and evolutionary implications of urban life  from an ecological and planning perspective. Graduate students in  these fields also will find the volume to be a useful summary and  synthesis of current research, extant literature, and prescriptions  for future work. All interested in human-driven land-cover changes  will benefit from a perusal of this book because we present high  altitude photographs of each study area.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781461356004\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461356004\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-1531-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 585\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44340563017868,"sku":"9781461356004","price":198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461356004_1a64c5d9-2e77-47af-b1b5-ea13916a7bc3.jpg?v=1755044630","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461356004","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
